Fragmentation. These grenades are used to produce casualties by
high-velocity projection of fragments.

The components of the M67 fragmentation hand grenade (Figure 1-7) are:
• Body: steel sphere with a scored steel spring for fragmentation.
• Filler: 6.5 ounces of Composition B.
• Fuse: M213.
• Weight: 14 ounces.
• Safety Clip

Capabilities. The average soldier can throw the M67 grenade 35 meters. The
effective casualty-producing radius is 15 meters and the killing radius is 5 meters.

Colors and Markings. The M67 grenade has an olive drab body with a single
yellow band at the top. Markings are in yellow.

Smoke hand grenades are used as ground-to-ground or ground-to-air signaling devices, target or landing zone marking devices, or screening devices for unit movements.

*Body: sheet steel cylinder. Current and recent production configuration is
one taped grenade bottom hole and no top emission holes.
• Filler: 11.5 ounces of colored smoke mixture (red, yellow, green, or violet).
• Fuse: M201A1.
• Weight: 19 ounces.

ABC-M7A2 and ABC-M7A3. These riot-control hand grenades (Figure 1-11)
contain only CS as a filler. The grenades differ only in the amount and form of the CS
they contain. The components are:
• Body: sheet metal with four emission holes at the top and one at the bottom.
• Filler: The ABC-M7A2 grenade has 5.5 ounces of burning mixture and 3.5
ounces of CS in gelatin capsules. The ABC-M7A3 has 7.5 ounces of burning
mixture and 4.5 ounces of CS pellets.
• Fuse: M201A1 MOD2
• Weight: 15.5 ounces.

Capabilities. The average soldier can throw the AN-M14 grenade 25 meters. A
portion of thermate mixture is converted to molten iron, which burns at 4,330 degrees Fahrenheit. The mixture fuses together the metallic parts of any object that it contacts. Thermate is an improved version of thermite, the incendiary agent used in hand grenades during World War II. The thermate filler can burn through a 1/2-inch homogenous steel plate. It produces its own oxygen and burns under water.

Colors and Markings. The AN-M14 is gray with purple markings and has a
single purple band (current grenades). Under the standard color-coding system,
incendiary grenades are light red with black markings.

The Mk3A2 offensive hand grenade (Figure 1-15, page 1-16),
commonly referred to as the concussion grenade, produces casualties during close combat while minimizing danger to friendly personnel. The grenade is also used for concussion effects in enclosed areas, for blasting, and for demolition tasks. The shock waves (overpressure) produced by this grenade when used in enclosed areas are greater than those produced by the fragmentation grenade. It is, therefore, more effective against enemy soldiers located in bunkers, buildings, and fortified areas. The components are:
• Body: fiber (similar to the packing container for the fragmentation grenade)
• Filler: 8 ounces of TNT.
• Fuse: M206A2.
• Weight: 15.6 ounces.

After a delay of 4 to 5 seconds, the M69 emits a small puff of white smoke and makes a loud popping noise. The grenade body can be used repeatedly by replacing the fuse assembly.

Colors and Markings. The M69 is light blue with white markings. The safety
lever of the fuse is light blue with black markings and a brown tip.

The PVS-14 Alpha is currently the primary night vision optic used by the U.S. military and Special Operations units.

Powered by an Autogated Gen 3 image intensifier, the system has recently been redesigned to operate on a single "AA" battery. The PVS-14A includes a built-in IR illuminator, fully adjustable headmount and mil-spec multi-coated optics. Automatic Brightness Control and Bright Source Protection are standard.

The manual gain control feature allows the user to increase or decrease image tube brightness for best possible image contrast in high and low light conditions. The most versatile night vision system on the market, the PVS-14 Alpha can be used hands-free, weapons mounted or attached to a camera or camcorder for nighttime photography.

Magnification: 1x

Range: 150m

Power: 1x AA battery

The AN/PVS-7B/D is the standard issue goggle for U.S. ground forces to conduct night operations. Using the latest 3rd generation image intensifier tubes the AN/PVS-7B/D will perform in the darkest of nights. The system has a built-in IR Illuminator for no light operations and an auto-off under high light conditions. The AN/PVS-7B/D is a completely MIL-SPEC system that has been ruggedized and waterproofed for harsh environments.

The AN/PSQ-20 Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG) provides increased capability by incorporating image intensification and long-wave infrared sensors into a single, helmet-mounted passive device.

The ENVG combines the visual detail in low light conditions that is provided by image intensification with the thermal sensor’s ability to see through fog, dust, and foliage that obscure vision. This thermal capability makes the ENVG, unlike earlier night vision devices, useful during the day as well as at night. The ENVG allows Soldiers to rapidly detect and engage targets because it permits use of existing rifle-mounted aiming lights.

Several engineering enhancements to the ENVG improve its fit and function. For example, putting the battery pack on the rear of the helmet provides better balance and increases comfort as well as stability. The system is also designed to work with existing ballistic eye protection. In addition, the system is now more compact and easier to stow when not in use, which enhances the Soldier’s mobility.

The Back-Up Iron Sites (BUIS) are a set of front and rear sights that can be used if the primary optic fails or for close work. They can be flipped up, fixed, angled, offset, or hybrid. They are usually made of metal, plastic, or both. They should be compatible with the rifle and the rail system.

The M68 Close Combat Optic (CCO) is a unity power, red dot aiming device that enhances target acquisition speed, allowing Soldiers to engage targets up to 300 meters with both eyes open to maintain situational awareness. The M68 CCO is compatible with all current night vision enhancements. It is the standard issue sight for the M4/M16.

• Weight (sight only): COMP M2: 7.0 ounces; COMP M4 or M4S: 9.3 ounces
• Length: COMP M2: 5.1 inches; COMP M4 or M4S: 5.3 inches
• Magnification: None

The M150 Rifle Combat Optic (RCO) is a rugged, battery-free, 4x magnified optic that provides full mission profile optical capability for use on M4/M16/M249 weapon systems. Enhanced capabilities provided by the M150 RCO include range estimation, which, with the bullet drop compensated reticle, provides accurate target engagements from 300 to 600 meters for trained operators.

• Weight: 1.004 pounds
• Length: 7.8 inches
• Magnification: 4 power

The AN/PAS-13 Thermal Weapon Sight (TWS) provides Soldiers with individual and crew served weapons the capability to see deep into the battlefield. It increases surveillance and target acquisition range, and penetrates obscurants either day or night. The TWS systems use uncooled, forward-looking infrared technology. It provides a standard video output for training, image transfer or remote viewing. TWS are lightweight systems that Soldiers can mount on a standard weapon rail and operate beyond the maximum effective range of the weapon.

PM SMS has fielded 17 micron (17um) sensor technology that provides size, weight and power improvements over previous configurations.

The TWS family comprises three variants, each of which is a silent, lightweight, compact, durable and battery-powered thermal sight. They are:

• AN/PAS-13(V)1 Light Weapon Thermal Sight (LWTS) for the M16 / M4 series rifles and carbines, as well as the M136 Light Anti-Armor Weapon.
• AN/PAS-13(V)2 Medium Weapon Thermal Sight (MWTS) for the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) and M240B series Medium Machine Guns.

The Multifunction Aiming Light (MFAL) family includes the AN/PEQ-15 Advanced Target Pointer Illuminator Aiming Light (ATPIAL) and the AN/PEQ-15A Dual Beam Aiming Laser–Advanced2 (DBAL-A2).

The AN/PEQ-15 and AN/PEQ-15A class 3B MFAL devices replace the AN/PAQ-4C. The infrared (IR) and visible aiming lasers are co-aligned. Soldiers can use the visible laser to bore-sight the device to a weapon without the need of night vision goggles. The IR lasers emit a highly collimated beam of IR light for precise weapon aiming, as well as a separate, IR-illuminating laser with adjustable focus. Soldiers can also select a visible red-dot aiming laser to provide precise aiming of a weapon during daylight or night operations. Soldiers can use AN/PEQ-15 and AN/PEQ-15A IR lasers as hand-held illuminator pointers, or weapon-mount them with included hardware.
